      Made with "bread and butter" corn, our Mid-West term for the yellow and white sweet corn. I double rolled it in Parchment paper and twisted the ends tight for a perfectly steamed ear in the time stated. This was a terrific side with Ez Chicken and Veggies for One, Thanks for another of your wonderful recipes Uncle Bill! Made for When It's Hot Tag Game.

      Perfect way to cook corn without heating up the kitchen! So easy. My favorite part was that the corn stayed hot in their plastic pouches until we were ready to eat each one. Thank you! I'll use this method very often.

      I loved corn cooked this way, instead of plastic wrap I actually keep the corn in its husk and microwave each ear for 2 minutes each, so if I have 3 ears of corn I stick them all in at once for a total of 6 minutes. Perfect corn on the cob everytime. Thanks!

      Quick, easy & tender. I haven't tried it with the plastic wrap (for health reasons) but used wax paper and it worked great!

      Cooking corn in the microwave is quick and easy, but for those who don't want to use plastic wrap, just leave the corn in the husks and microwave each ear for about 2 minutes. Let them sit for a few minutes to cool off so you can peel them or I often use the downdraft fan on my range to speed up the cooling process, hold the corn carefully then peel back a little of the husk, set the corn on your fan, wait 20 seconds or so, then peel off a few more, repeat until all the husk is gone. Then doctor with butter, salt, pepper, etc to your liking.

      Since I have learned that your not supposed to cook or use plastic wrap or cook in plastic in the microwave, I have stopped using this method to sometimes cook my corn. It is said that it causes cancer, so that was enough news to make me go back to the traditional method!

      Excellent, easy, tender and delicious corn. I did 4 ears for 6 minutes, rotated 180 degrees, then did 4 minutes more (HIGH power both times) as Uncle Bill instructed in the request forum. I then sprayed them with butter spray and sprinkled with seasoned salt immediately and wrapped them in foil to rest. They were just perfect. Thanks for posting the easiest way EVER to make perfect corn on the cob!

      The perfect way to cook sweet corn! I used waxed paper and it worked beautifully.

      When I can't cook my corn on the grill, this is the only way to go. SSOOO much better than boiling it. I love the fact I can prepare it ahead of time and just pop it in the microwave right before dinner. An excellent recipe/cooking method. UPDATE: you can also use waxed paper and get the same results. Always good to know if you're out of plastic wrap. ;) It is easier to open too.

      I'm sorry, I made this in the summer, I guess I forgot to review it though. This makes absolutely perfect corn. So sweet with just enough crunch. Awesome!!

      So quick and so easy! no loss of flavour and no water to wash away the vitimins. Best of all the corn itself was cooked .. and yes it was HOT when unwrapped but after a few minutes it was fine to eat and the centre "core" part wasn't too hot to handle at the ends in the same way as when corn is boiled. I can even cut my ears of corn into 3rds and make smaller parcels of them for the kids. Best of all , all the flavour is there... my corn was so seewt that I didn't even add the butter !!! Please see my rating system, for simplicity, speed and flavour.. a wonderful 5 stars. Thanks Uncle Bill !

      This was maybe the best corn I have ever made. No kidding! DH and I loved this...and it's so easy. Followed your directions exactly. We are only sorry that fresh corn season is over, and we have to wait until next summer to make this again!

      I made this as a side dish and it is quick and easy and comes out just perfect. The only thing I added was some cracked black pepper otherwise would not change a thing! I will make this often!
